FIRST in Rhode Island

With almost 90 teams ready for the 2024–25 season, our smallest state is still full of FIRST programming. Partnerships with the University of Rhode Island and New England Institute of Technology and non-profits such as Aquidneck Island Robotics reach students of all ages.

Contact the Program Delivery Partners:

Join in the fun! NE FIRST events are open to the public.

A typical competition starts with teams arriving, getting set up, and practicing before they participate in matches that determine their qualification ranking.  Events will include an opening ceremony each morning, a lunch break (concessions available!) and a concluding awards ceremony! When you arrive, look for the info desk to find the day's schedule or a map of where teams from near you are set up. Questions? Email the contacts on this page!
